Default Cougar for the school is finished
Hi gang,
I know it was a long time ago that I started the school mascot. My grandson's school hockey team is called the cougars and won the whole championship with all the schools this spring. I volunteered to do a carving for the school to put in the foyer of the school. This is the finished result. It is out of a piece of white pine about four feet high and twenty inches across. I tried to make is as close to the picture on their hockey sweaters as possible.
Colin

That should intimidate the other teams..and I don't expect any rivals will be trying to haul it away from the size of that piece. Great job.
